Despite the included ammunition's similarities to Micro Darts, they are in fact different, as they are longer and have a different tip. They are also said to have a wider internal diameter. A slight variation occurred on the Disney theme park variation; the darts are all reddish-orange instead of having a black tip.

History

The blaster was re-released in 2002 as a part of the Star Tours toy line. This update had the blaster sold in two different color schemes; an updated version of the original, and a rarer blue variation. The name on both versions was changed to Rebel Alliance Bowcaster.
